Born in Berlin to a German-Jewish manufacturer of buttons and to an American mother, Helmut Newton (1929-2004) snapped his first pictures of interest at the age of twelve.After fleeing Nazi Germany, Helmut set up a fashion photography studio in Melbourne, Australia, and later in Paris, soon emerging as an internationally renowned photographer.
For the Spring of 2010, Helmut Newton’s vintage photographs revisit us as they have spurred on English designer Simon Spurr, who brings to us a traditional silhouette with avant-garde cuts and enlivened colors that are reminiscent of the 1970’s ultra modernity.
The collection is a snapshot of confidence and relaxed sophistication for the modern man.
